I rarely need to change the DRS but I know when you have to do it, it can be a PITA. When I have to change it (when changing the lower RC mount from bottom to top or top to bottom or when the DRS arms snaps...), I usually take the entire rear portion out by unscrewing all the Phillips screws under the chassis for the rear section. Detach the side CF stiffeners and the whole rear pops off. Then from the underside, it is easier to work on the DRS arms and the spacers.
yeah... i pop off the rear too.. but that sucks a little
i'm just not very happy with the construction and play that the DRS gives.. this is still just an idea.. the pivot pin is to short, because it's the standaard serpent pin :-)
But i gues it's just a matter of getting a long peace of the pin and making it yourself....

i also need something to seel of the pin, this way the DRS arm will drop of the pivot pin :-)

I don't change the DRS very often so that's why this solution would work for me....

i'll try building it and run the car.. i'm not a vast monkey(just a beginner) but i'll also ask ReneC's remarks the next dutch championship race

I love racing in the netherlands
